Jantje Fleischhut's designs

About me

Jantje Fleischhut is trained as classical jeweller in Germany, accomplished her technical back round later with conceptual and creative thinking at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in the jewellery department (BA) and the Sandberg Institute (MA) in Amsterdam. Since her graduation in 2002 she runs her own studio in Amsterdam. Here Fleischhut creates unique pieces and jewellery in small edition, both are equally important to her — one inspires the other. Her fascinations are plastic material, the universe and space travelling. Since 2000 her work is presented by Dutch and international Galleries, as well at Museums and international art and design fairs. Gallery Rob Koudijs and Gallery Ornamentum are the main representatives of Fleischhut’s work.Next to her studio work Fleischhut teaches at the Post Industrial Design Course at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague and the jewellery department of the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam before she becomes Professor at the University of applied art in Düsseldorf, Germany in 2016. Since 2001 she is invited for various workshops, lectures or seminars; Oslo, Tokyo, Copenhagen, Maastricht, Arnhem and Idar-Oberstein.She is member of the Francoise van den Bosch foundation since 2012 and won the Herbert Hoffmann Prize in Munich in 2008.

Jantje on Piece1The new work fits naturally in the oeuvre of the artist, but it is also an interesting new development. As we have little to tell about the sign of the Zodiac under which we are born, it is wonderful that Jantje Fleischhut provides us with the option to make our own choice.The new work fits naturally in the oeuvre of the artist, but it is also an interesting new development.

Now her point of departure was the innumerable lumps of stone and clouds of rubble that silently speed through the infinite universe. She began to make a kind of asteroids from the most unlikely materials. Shapes emerged of which the weight, structure, colour and surface are as surprising and associative as the cosmic rocks they refer to. Fleischhut combined these elements into small compositions. They are not meant to suggest an explosive collision, but rather to call forth the overwhelming dynamics of the universe. Sometimes she added abstract shapes to suggest celestial orbits. Her refined sensitivity for colours, both with the individual parts as in their combinations, gave each piece of jewellery its distinct expressiveness.

Ever since time began, man looked at the firmament in bewilderment. It was the genesis of religions, mythology, literature and many works of art. No matter how many mysteries science unraveled during the past century, the amazement only increased. Some celestial bodies were only clouds of debris, while others are extremely volcanic and look different each year; one of Neptune's moons has gales blowing at nearly the speed of sound, and on neutron-stars one millimetre of matter might weigh 500 billion kilo's. Can anything be more inspirational?
